Chapter 1178 1171: First Display of Prowess
Swish, swish, swish!
In the sky above the swamp, Qin Yang, flying at the forefront, narrowed his eyes.
At this moment, from all directions, three Fire Swamp Fire Ants at the initial stage of Demon General level were already very close to them, their sharp red blade-like legs slashing towards him, Zilan, and the Fire Flame Lion.
"Roar!"
The Fire Flame Lion roared, with deep red flames swirling around its forepaw, it directly slapped the head of the Fire Swamp Fire Ant.
Bam!
The Fire Swamp Fire Ant was slammed down towards the swamp in front.
However, having taken a hit from the Fire Flame Lion, the Fire Swamp Fire Ant didn't seem to suffer much injury. Its four legs flailed for a moment, and it charged towards Qin Yang and the others again.
Bam!
The Fire Spirit Gauze in Zilan's hand condensed into a staff shape, and with a swing of her jade-like hand, she also knocked down a Fire Swamp Fire Ant.
Swish!
With a thought, the Jade-handled Dragon Roar Sword appeared in Qin Yang's hand. A fierce sword aura slashed down, directly slicing the Fire Swamp Fire Ant coming to bite him into two, its thick red blood splattering around.
Under the bloody scent, from all directions, more Fire Swamp Fire Ants came attacking.
Qin Yang and Zilan's figures flashed, as they dismounted from the back of the Fire Flame Lion, confronting those Fire Swamp Fire Ants.
At this moment, behind Qin Yang and Zilan, seven or eight Fire Swamp Fire Ants rose into the air, attacking the Cyan Wind Flying Boat.
Bam, bam, bam!
Dozens of sharp leg blades directly slashed at the cyan light membrane covering the boat.
Boom~!!!
As dozens of ferocious flame leg blades fell, a violent ripple stirred on the cyan light membrane, then with a "crack" sound, cracks appeared on it.
On the boat's hull, some talismans shattered, causing an old man surnamed Meng to feel a sharp pain in his heart.
"Fellow Daoists, we must respond, my Cyan Wind Flying Boat cannot protect everyone."
With a touch of pain in his eyes, the old man surnamed Meng spoke to the twin sisters, Teng Kui, and the mysterious man shrouded in a gray robe.
Upon hearing this, several people nodded, realizing that the Cyan Wind Flying Boat was a flying-type Spiritual Treasure, not a defensive one.
Boom, boom, boom!
Spiritual power surged around them as they each drew out their Spiritual Treasures, confronting the Fire Swamp Fire Ants outside the boat.
One of the twin sisters wielded a blue Water Sword, while the other held a red Fire Sword. Their sharp sword auras directly cut down two Fire Swamp Fire Ants.
The man named Teng Kui, with a body like a tower, grabbed the large black hammer he carried on his back with one hand, clutching a chain in the other.
Boom!
Teng Kui swung his right hand, and the black giant hammer shot out like a meteor, directly smashing the head of a Fire Swamp Fire Ant.
The mysterious man in the gray robe withdrew a long bone cone.
The bone cone was covered with sinister patterns, emitting a morbid white light, directly piercing the abdomen of a Fire Swamp Fire Ant at the initial stage of Demon General level.
After a few short breaths, they had either killed or knocked down the seven or eight Fire Swamp Fire Ants surrounding the Cyan Wind Flying Boat.
Swish, swish, swish!
The four figures flashed, exiting the Cyan Wind Flying Boat.
The old man surnamed Meng followed, leaving the boat as well. His fingers rapidly formed a seal, hastily storing the Cyan Wind Flying Boat into his storage bag, then summoning his Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, a Wind Attribute Cyan Peak Longsword.
Swish, swish, swish!
Just as the five people alighted from the Cyan Wind Flying Boat, more Fire Swamp Fire Ants surged towards them, numberings in the dozens.
Among them, there were even two mid-tier Demon General level and one late-tier Demon General level Fire Swamp Fire Ants.
Each Fire Swamp Fire Ant was large in size, and their overwhelming numbers quickly filled the sky.
Seeing this, the five people's faces darkened, knowing they had to resist the pulling force of the swamp vortex below as well, thus they unleashed all their power.
Bam, bam, bam!
Facing the scores of ferocious Fire Swamp Fire Ants, each of the five employed their own techniques.
The mysterious man under the gray robe displayed a few skills as well, his figure flickering like a ghost through the air.
Every time the sinister bone cone struck, a Fire Swamp Fire Ant was severely injured or directly killed.
"Truly an Evil Cultivator."
Qin Yang glanced at the bone cone in the mysterious man's hand, a flash of light in his eyes, thinking to himself.
Evil Cultivators are known among various cultivators for their mysterious and cunning attack methods.
Among them were Song Yu and Song Xia, a pair of twin sisters, one specializing in Water Element and the other in Fire Element, their swordsmanship agile and graceful, dancing around the nearby Fire Swamp Fire Ants, and seizing opportunities to kill them with a strike.
"These sisters are indeed from Piaoling Palace; their swordsmanship emphasizes agility and elegance."
Qin Yang's eyes slightly narrowed, pondering that these sisters must be disciples from Piaoling Palace out for experience.
The towering strongman Teng Kui's muscles darkened with a black shine, clutching a chain in one hand and the handle of the black giant hammer in the other.
Boom, bam!
Each swing of the heavy black giant hammer sent a Fire Swamp Fire Ant flying away.
Nonetheless, the Fire Swamp Fire Ants demonstrated extremely resilient defense and vitality, and some scrambled back into the fight even after being knocked to the ground.
"This Teng Kui must be a Body Cultivator."
Qin Yang glanced at Teng Kui before his gaze settled on the old man surnamed Meng.
The old man with the Cyan Blade Longsword wielded the wind attribute laws with each slash, its sharpness slicing through several initial stage Demon General level Fire Swamp Fire Ants, severing limbs and spraying blood.
Behind these five stood Teng Yingwu.
At the moment, Teng Yingwu's expression turned grim; earlier he had mocked the one-eyed person's paranoia, only to be thoroughly proven wrong.
It was painfully embarrassing.
They had inadvertently barged into a swarm of Fire Swamp Fire Ants, their sheer numbers atop the swamp making his scalp tingle.
It's well-known that in the Celestial Cyan Mountain Range, the hardest to provoke is a swarm of a certain group.
Even if the group's level is not high, their sheer number is enough to wear down a strong cultivator.
What's more, the Fire Swamp Fire Ants in front mostly range from Tier Two to initial stage Demon General level, with some even reaching mid and late stages. Combined with their numbers, it's exceedingly troublesome.
Thus, facing the attacking Fire Swamp Fire Ants from all sides, Teng Yingwu did not dare to slack off for a moment.
"Golden Pattern Battle Body."
Teng Yingwu directly activated his family's Divine Techniques, radiating golden light over his body, with lines of golden runes forming on his face and arms.
Swish!
With a gesture from his right hand, a golden battle saber appeared, its detailed patterns exuding the Gold Element Law.
With the golden battle saber in hand, Teng Yingwu charged at the Fire Swamp Fire Ants. His power having reached the Peak of the Immortal Spirit Realm, the wide arcs of his golden saber slashed down the initial stage Demon General level Fire Swamp Fire Ants, scattering blood.
The last one was Monk Huiguang, who at some point wielded a hard magic rod as if made of White Jade.
The White Jade Magic Rod was carved with Buddhist scriptures, each strike carrying a dignified and mighty Buddha aura.
Bam, bam, bam!
Stepping on a Lotus Jade Throne, Monk Huiguang wielded mighty swings, sweeping down the Fire Swamp Fire Ants attacking him.
"Both this Teng Yingwu and Monk Huiguang are quite strong, at least no weaker than Yuan Ming."
Qin Yang's eyes flashed with understanding.
Previously, the nine of them had only encountered weak demon beasts along the way.
Thus, no one exposed their abilities; now, facing an assault from so many Fire Swamp Fire Ants, some of their techniques were finally showcased.
